New Zealand's Shortest Day of the Year

Tweet

It's 6.30 a.m. Tuesday 21 June here, and very dark outside. Today is our shortest day of the year, it's hard to believe we've reached it already and that soon the length of the days will start increasing again. Meanwhile, I know the opposite is true for all the northern hemisphere readers, and you'll start experiencing shorter days. I'm off to work this morning, doing a couple of mornings teaching for my old school because they're desperate. I'm glad it's only mornings, as a friend is across from Australia and we're having lunch today. It's not the darkness in the mornings that I notice most these days, but I don't like the way it gets dark so early late afternoon in the winter. Thank heavens seasons change. Enjoy your longer days while summer is with you.
